Anyone been? Got access to some accommodation on the Spanish side and would like to go out there for a bit.

Lift assisted would be nice. Not much info from google on a quick search. Any guidance gratefully appreciated.

Great location, not too busy and cheap. Lift passes are available to bikers from the main ski station in Soldeau.

Great place, 2 resorts with bike parks:
Val Nord Pal Arinsal: lots of good trails, different grades great vibe.
GrandValira, Soldeau: pretty good especially the higher routes.

Commuting from across the boarder could be a pain as there are always traffic jams at customs (in both directions). Soldeau is closer to the French side than ValNord so harder to get to from Spain.

Val Nord is also very family friendly if thats an issue.

Yes! Valnord is amesome. Hire a DH bike or just ride the XC, great weekend and enough stuff to last you for at least a week. They even have a wood park.

The Andorran parks would be fine on a hardtail (up to red), the tracks are well maintained.

I wouldnt bother with a hardtail at La Molina
